Hearing Duke and Cassel's praise, Nicole looked at them blankly, with an indescribable emotion in her heart, maybe this is the feeling of being recognized, and she is no longer a symbol of the devil that is avoided by others.

Seeing Nicole's eyes red again, Duke hurriedly comforted: "Okay, this matter is over, the storm armor will be mass-produced according to the runes drawn by Nicole first, and there is not much time left for us." ”

The success of the Rune Warframe has given Stormcastle another grasp of a possible invasion of the monster army. At least the knight wearing the storm armor, Duke is confident that he can be one-on-one with the Ice Demon, instead of letting the Ice Demon rush the city wall with impunity like before.

At the same time, with the launch of the other two hydraulic hammer machines, and the three shifts of manipulating the magic blast furnace that arrived at the Stormcastle Witch, the production of the Storm Armor also began to rise, from the previous production of ten pairs of armor per day, to nearly fifty per day.

If nothing else, it will only take a month for all the soldiers of the Storm Legion to wear this most advanced battle armor on the Europa continent, and their combat effectiveness will be qualitatively changed.

The expansion of the hydroelectric plant came to an end, and Duke began to focus on the Storm Guard, which numbered 1,000 troops. There are also the remaining 600 knight retinues before are also officially organized as auxiliaries, in addition to being responsible for the logistics of knights, they will also participate in military training without discrimination.

And at this time, Duke also announced an important thing in the barracks, that is, Stormcastle will no longer arrest and try any witches and dark mages who have no criminal record, and will treat them fairly and justly, treating them as members of Stormcastle.

When this order was announced, the entire barracks was in an uproar, and unlike the higher-ups who already knew about it, these ordinary soldiers were completely unprepared. But as the officer's order was issued, the discipline of the training soon took effect, and all the storm soldiers immediately regained their quiet.

And this time, Duke didn't explain patiently like Cassel and Alan, but just looked at the Storm Guard soldiers in the audience with a serious face and said, "I know that you are puzzled and confused in your hearts, and even resist this order in your heart, thinking that witches are evil devils. ”

"But it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, whether you understand it or not, as long as you are a soldier of the Storm Guard, then you must carry out orders to the letter. If you choose to disobey the order, then there is only one option left, and that is to leave the Storm Guard!"

With the integration of Carsmai to solve his worries, Duke is determined to establish absolute authority in the Storm Legion. And as a high-ranking military commander, it is impossible to explain everything to the soldiers under him clearly, to say a cruel word, the soldiers must become the most professional killing machines, and what is needed is execution, not asking why.

Because many of the things Duke does in the future may conflict with the values instilled in the Holy See, Duke needs to ensure that the Storm Legion becomes the sharpest sword in his hands, not a double-edged sword.

This is a choice that must be made sooner or later, so it is better to do it early than later, and first screen out a group of soldiers who are not qualified in "political ideology".

Duke looked coldly at the soldiers below, and the Storm Guards below were also silent, and the atmosphere had a feeling of solidification and suffocation. Alan looked at the scene in front of him, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He does not support Duke doing this, as he also believes that witches bring disaster and are the embodiment of the devil. But he was thrilled by Duke's actions and courage, and whether Duke was right or wrong, he showed execution and authority as a lord, a feeling that reminded him of his days under Duke Otto.

The reason why Duke Otto is worshipped by the soldiers and regarded as the god of the imperial army is because Duke Otto has the same courage, and the soldiers know that they have a firm goal to fight with Duke Otto, and they will not change their orders overnight. Even in the face of powerful enemies, even desperate situations, this kind of execution makes the soldiers not confused.

Alan was distracted at this critical moment, and he looked at Duke's grim expression on the stage, as if Duke Otto had carved out a mold. It's just that the third son is more courageous and decisive than his father, and he is really a tiger father without a dog.

As the minutes ticked by, there was still no movement from the audience, and Duke's cold face began to show a smile of victory. It seems that his efforts for the Storm Guard have not been in vain, whether it is the treatment or the warmth on weekdays, as well as the military manual and ideological education, the Storm Guard has been firmly controlled in his hands, this is an army that truly belongs to himself.

"Very well, this is the valiant warrior of my Storm Castle! I won't explain too much to you, but I can assure you that I, Duke von Otto, will lead you to become the most powerful legion on the continent, and let your family live a prosperous and stable life!"

"Long live your lord!"

Cassel's bearded arms raised and shouted, looking particularly domineering and appealing. He has now become a fan of Duke, and he simply thinks that Duke is a symbol of chivalry.

"Long live your lord!"

The Storm Legion in the audience also shouted, they were not simply echoing, but full of excitement and enthusiasm. The reason is simple, everything they have now, Duke gave them. It is no exaggeration to say that Duke's arrival saved Storm Castle on the brink of life and death, and no lord has been able to do everything for Duke before!

The main god of the Holy See may be their faith, but the Holy See is too far away, Duke is too close, who can really bring change and help, this is an obvious answer. Theocracy may be strong, but theocracy is not invincible, otherwise there would be no Renaissance in another world, completely breaking the darkness of the Middle Ages. 、

"Storm Legion, forward!"

Alan also lost no time in shouting, as a veteran who has been in the army for more than ten years, he has experienced countless life-and-death battles, and he has long looked down on the belief in gods. He believes in the blend of iron and blood, and Duke perfectly demonstrates this quality, so Alan is unreservedly loyal to Duke, even if he is with the Holy See, he will not hesitate at all, he is a pure Predator.

"Forward, forward, forward!"

The Storm Soldiers in the audience also responded excitedly, which was also the slogan of the Storm Legion designed by Duke, in order to cultivate the Storm Legion's blood and sense of honor. In fact, the birth of a powerful legion is the accumulation of small details from all aspects, and the Storm Legion is an example, which has changed too much compared to the original city lord guard.

At the same time, Duke felt this deafening shout, and he also had an irrepressible excitement in his heart, until today, he really controlled an army that was completely his own, and they would be enemies of this theocratic world because of his orders!
